[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markeas:
Im massively confused.

I would like to return my desire to stock, I've had nothing but signal problems since rooting and flashing another rom.

My phone was originally an o2 branded phone, so I have downloaded the RUU for the o2 (i'm guessing this includes the radio?) I've tried running the RUU and its gives me an error about my bootloader, I've just checked and the bootloader is 0.80.

Now this is where i'm getting confused, I can't wholeley remember what SDcard I made my goldcard. So do I need to make a new goldcard in order to compelte the Unroot or do I need to downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 using this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256 and then start again...

:confused:

Or am I miles out?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
You don't need a goldcard if you flash the ruu which was installed on your phone when you bought it.

So if you phone was o2 branded and you flash a o2 ruu , you don't need a goldcard. If you want to flash a wwe ruu (unbranded) you do.

Did you write down the exact firmware version before rooting?

cant do nothing with any of the buttons, the only time the screen changes is when i unplug the phone from the usb (connected to computer) then i get a white screen that gives me some hboot information and under that ( normally where you would expect to see the bootloader etc it just says RUU, but again none of the buttons function.

Download the ruu again from the link eddy gave you.

Then use EddyOS his instructions about extracting the .zip file from the .exe you just downloaded.
[G Tablet General] Wagnbat:
Does the GTab or any ROMs support tethering to a 3G connection via bluetooth? My phone (iPhone 3GS) will not act as a WiFi tether unless I jailbreak it, which I would prefer not to do with my ignorant yet anal official iphone carrier (GTA Guam).

They say the 3GS can't tether via bluetooth, but I've found information to the contrary on the net. Thus, I know the phone supports it, at least with an iPad. Don't know if the GTab or ROMs support it, and I've not kept up with bluetooth specs in years. Any help would be much appreciated.

[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hi.

I have got observations from differtent roms ( not anly my roms and with different radios - even last 321 ) that very rarely ( I noticed only once per one tested rom but my tests were too short ) something wrong happens with GPS service. None program gets any data from GPS port. Changing managed port in this case gives nothing. Programs simply do not get any NMEA data.

Maybe return of GPS service from sleep mode is not always correct ?

As I remember some people had similar problems and they had to restart WM.

I detected is is not necessary because it is enough to restart GPS service and all start to work perfect. That is why in my new rom updates ( not in UPDATE3 ) I will include small utility for GPS restart.

Have anybody similar observations ?

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Good idea, we have all noticed that a soft reset is necessary to get back gps functionality, so a utility that would do it for us would be great, its a bane of using the TG01, if possible could you make this utility available to all?
[TG01 General] kevinpwhite:
Seconded :) Even after spending some time looking at the AGPS dimension, I've not been completely convinced that there wasn't something else happening - if it can be better controlled by a service management applet, that would be a very useful advance. Would also much appreciate if can be made available (or appropriate advice on config).

Best regards,

Kevin
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Yes, I can share it with all users but it will be difficult to prove it really works :) ( You have only my word ) unless someone has found a way to "force" GPS service to stop working good. Usage is very simple. After You start it You get message "GPS service restared".

That is all.

Hi everyone, I use the latest version of GPSMod on my TG01 and I have no GPS problems whatsoever.

I am currently using MiROM1_rel5 with 1800 radio and all is fine, even before using this rom (apart from when I tried radio 321) I have never had any issues with the GPS after I started using GPSMod.

I use IGO with my TG01 and you will probably know from other threads that this is probably the worst package to get working on the TG01 but I don’t have any GPS issues at all.

Use the latest version (3_4_2) and keep everything at the default settings and it configures COM2 as the 'new' GPS port and I use this in my SYS.TXT

[GPS]

port="2"

baud_rate="4800"

I have just come back from Italy and when I turned on my TG01 outside Nice airport and I got a lock in less than 2mins and using my TG01 in and around Italy no issues and when I returned back to good old UK it took a couple of mins to get the first fix but its been fine.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hi.

We do not say about any regular GPS failure but about very rare cases.

Nobody knows when it happens so it can concerns Your solution too.

It would be desirable that users who met this problem, tell us what GPS drivers/software they used when it happened.

Regards

[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Igo varients normally lose signal or find sats, then lose signal, radio 0321 improves things a lot for me, but still... GPS signal lost is a common problem, and it never really recovers until a soft reset.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Could You describe it more ?

Do You know whether and how to cause such "unrecoverable" situation so that to get 100% prove my "GPS restarter" really could help ?

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
I can probably prove this using GPSTest on my current radio, if not IGO will do it
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Ok. I will try to upload my utility maybe today evening or tomorrow.

Do what You can to "damage" GPS and apply restarter.

Remember to stop all navigation software before execution of this utility.

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Its easy to damage GPS, start a gps app, then exit it, gps no longer works till you restart the device, thats how its always worked for me, anyway, after trying your app, still have the same problem. I am sure others can also test for you.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hmm, I guess it must be other kind of problem. I have never had a situation when navigation software "kills" GPS ( Ozi Explorer and Garmin Mobile XT ). It was rather after return tg01 from sleep or something other.

1) Do You utilize "standard" GPS driver from any official ROM ?

2) Do You use managed port ( which ) or hardware port ?

3) It happens only with IGO software or any other You execute ?

I have created some simple "terminal" software for PNA devices so maybe we could do some kind of diagnostic.

P.S. As a matter of fact my utility restarts "managed port service" not real gps driver. I can see I have to modify my utility for You. I will restart both: GPS driver and gps service. Maybe it will help.

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Glad you figured out the problem, i wasn't suggesting that your utility definately didn't work, but i used some simple gps tests, IGO, wait for it to find some sats, then exit, after exit, no gps programs can work again till soft reset, same with the simple GPStest 1.04, i think if your utility restarts both, you will have a very robust little utility.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
You can "kill" GPS too simply. Maybe problem is rom dependent or mentioned

applications bahaves in wrong way. Any other users of the same rom report this problem ?

Could You give me any link to download GPStest 1.04 and write some explanations how You used to utilize it ? Just simple steps to "kill" GPS.

It seems to be simple application so I can test what happens .

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
You can download GPS Test here

Its very simple application, it scans com ports for gps, then just tests how many sats can be found, very very siimple, but very useful for testing whether you can get a lock or not.

So, run gps test, scan for ports, wait for a lock, then exit program, then restart, see if it works again, for me it would not, this may also be dependant on radio, i am currently using mirom8 with radio 0300
[TG01 General] dr_strangetrick:
I know it doesn't fix the problem but with GpsMod I can start IGo, exit then open Google maps (which is also set to COM2) then exit, then open something like PUTTY and use COM2 then exit and go back to IGo all without having to soft reset and every application working.

It would be great if we could get the gps to work as good an htc gps but for those having problems with the gps then GpsMod is the answer.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
I think it is rom/gps driver dependent. I tested GPS via GpsTest. Works perfect.

To catch first 3d fix my tg01 needed a little time. It is obvious.

Then I exited and started GpsTest few times. Every time after start, it showed immediately 3d fix and at least 5-6 sattelites.

P.S. I always utilize COM4 managed port.

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
OK, it must be IGO, what would be useful then, is if the uitility had a mortscript or batch type ability, say you go to run a GPS utility or a GPS navigation application, your utility restarts gps driver and service, then runs program, then does a driver/service restart upon exit. I think its IGO that takes over the port, obviously other people may not have this problem, but i have noticed it on many roms.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
What my utility potentially can do , You can do manualy :) so we will know whether it will help. So when You "kill" gps , do as follows:

1) Execute fdcTaskmanager.

2) Go to services

3) Stop gps service

4) Go to devices

5) Stop gps driver

6) Start gps driver

7) Go to services

8) Start gps service

9) Exit fdcTaskManager

If now IGO or other software will show satelites, modification of my utility have sense to fix Your problems.

[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
OK, i will test for you, no problem, and thanks, great work, run out of thanks right now. I am going to reflash to a different rom and try this out.
[TG01 General] kevinpwhite:
I've been doing some different tests.... and have observed an alternate issue which may have some bearing, at least in some situations.

This is using my ROM, [ Radio 0300.76 ] but now with GPSModDriver. Same setup on 2 devices side by side. There seems to be a tendency to repeatedly revert to COM9 rather than GPD9 which is what it is supposed to be set to... with consequent loss of data.

I have been seeing what happens with GPSMod on its own and also with GarminXT, Efficasoft GPS Utilities, GPSMeter 5 and Google Maps. When GPD9 [Edit - original post incorrectly stated GPD5] is set generally things seem OK on all but after an S/R or on other occasions for no apparent reason, the External GPS setting (ie. Registry) will have reverted to COM9.

I have extracted the relevant Reg keys and will bake into the ROM and see whether that overcomes. Suspect not as appears to be a dynamic change, possibly driven by GPSMod. Maybe just need to change everything to look for COM9 instead.

Regards,

Kevin
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Is it possible you can help us test the utility without GPSMod? If we can fix GPS stops in certain circumstances, something like GPSMod driver would be more useful. The problem is that some apps stop GPS from working again till a soft reset, a good example is IGO.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
It would be interesting "to catch" the problem. We have 3, theoretically possible places when "failure" can appear:

1) gps driver. If IGO really stops it then one has to start it. In this case none application really can see any gps data.

2) gps service. If IGO stops it ( You proved that rather not ) then one has to start it. Only if gps port is set to managed port, none application can see any gps data.

3) gps port. We have two cases:

a) hardware port. Maybe IGO do not close it before exit but even then windows should close it itself as other handles that given programs got from system. Nethertheless there is certain chance that failure is here.

b) managed port. In my oppinion rather impossible to fail because it allows many applications utilize gps in the same time so even if given application will not close the port or as Kavin wrote, managed port will change, it should be found by any navigation software.

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] kevinpwhite:
Happily. I've H/R one device and will try the utility alone with G-XT, etc., for a while. Be good to get to the bottom of this issue.

Another thing I've noticed is that GPSMod seems to be better at showing availability of Sats (often without being able to gain a Fix) than some of the other apps; but is also possble to have 2 identical devices with same Radio S/W side by side and for them to be showing quite dfferent levels of signal strength. Or one to have a good 3D fix and the other completely refuse to until being S/R - or I'm increasing coming to think fully powered off and then on again rather than just an S/R. Not sure whether that hints at some relationship to the actual GPS radio hardware ?
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
GPSMod is a great piece of software but i think this utility is the answer to the problems we have been seeing, by restarting driver and service, its the same as a soft reset. I think the prioblems i and many others have seen in the past are due to rom specific problems, but any utility that can prevent someone having to soft reset to gain gps funcionality again has to be a good thing.

[TG01 General] kevinpwhite:
Further to my earlier post #21.... last night I edited and re-cooked the Registry in my ROM to GPD9 as the default port. Then re-flashed and set up GarminXT, Eficasoft and Google Maps, all with default / managed by windows / GID port settings. After the usual delay in obtaining an initial fix, I am somewhat amazed that the device has retained lock on all three apps solidly ever since. So now over 24 hours continuously. The majority of that time it has been in the house in various locations apart from a couple of hours during which it was either mounted in the car or on my belt at another (mostly indoor) location. The only known glitch was when GarminXT managed to loose the hardware about 11am today, although the other two apps continued to run and retain lock / fix. I just restarted the Garmin and it picked up instantly and has continued ever since.

I have now flashed a second device and added GPSMod Driver and also fxdjacentyfxd's new service re-starter tool. Have tested that with this combination and all works well. I did note that installing GPSMod caused the Reg Port to change to COM9. I changed that manually back to GPD9 and everything the worked fine after also changing the Eficasoft Utilities settings to GPD9 - on the first device without GPSMod it works correctly on the default 'GID' setting.

Am now going to leave both devices to run overnight and see what happens....

[UPDATE] 3 Apr 11 22:30

Several overnight runs on both devices successful - both still happily going strong, but have now decided to give them a rest.

Device 1 GPS lock uptime now 96 hrs

Device 2 GPS lock uptime now 72 hrs

There have been jsut a few dropouts observed but both devices have regained lock without intervention.

Have also checked the Altitude readings on each against Google Eath as a reference for this location [25m above sea level]

Device 1 [without GPSMod Driver]
- Eficasoft +26.6m
- Garmin XT -20.4m

Device 2 [with GPSMod Driver]
- Eficasoft +24.4m
- Garmin XT -20.6m

Which raises 2 questions:

- why is Garmin showing a negative value ?

- whether the Alt correction table in GPSMod is having any effect at all ?

should logically be the same difference between both pairs of readings, even if there is an offset issue with XT.

The altitude 'correction' remains the outstanding question, coupled with the benefits of the look-ahead corrections made by GPSMod to determine whether you would wish to use the modified driver or stick with the native interface.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rich242:
My issue is the ring tone volume when placed on the dock (which has a headphone jack built in). The actual noise that come from the phone not through the headphones jack but as a result of plugging the headphones jack in.

If you ring your phone, then plug a headphone jack into it while it is ringing you will hear what I mean, the ring tone goes very quiet, then when you pull it out the ring tone returns to normal (loud) again. I just want to be able to plug a jack into the phone without the ring tone level changing at all.

Basically unless your are sat next to your phone whilst it is in the dock you will miss any calls that come in............... very annoying, especially as apart from this issue the dock is a cracking bit of kit.

Use Titanium Backup if you want to reflash, it backups your apps,

To use Defy as USB Storage, you have to uncheck it.
